"... meat and poultry contained/carried SA. Half of which was MRSA."
"If it's always possible to develop a vaccine and especially how quickly it can be done."
It was the vaccines which had increased our life-span by decades, not antibiotics. Though I assume antibiotics are quite awesome to:)
Anyway. The less they are used to more likely they will keep on being effective. So why waste them on animals who may not need them (or any animals except humans?)
all without noting the MASSIVE improvements in sanitation, medical science, vaccine research, etc. that make this scale of pandemic highly unlikely in the modern era.
Except you use antibiotics in your animals over in the US.
I'm not educated enough for in fast new vaccines can be made for viruses and if they can for all. Considering how far they have come with HIV I guess it's not always that easy.
I read antibiotics had increased our average life span by decades. But what do you do when they don't work against the bacteria?
So fucking retarded to over-use them, though rather convenient to use them when you need them, but it's always a risk for the future efficiency.
Hey! It may be 700 years later but some gross somewhat old dude cough.. and cough.. and cough.. and cough.. while I was just really wishing that the cashier could hurry up and finish of with my goods since he was behind me.
Then I started to do it. Got a pulse of pain coming every now and then in the left side of my head and was in quite poor condition. Was diagnosed pneumonia which antibiotics solved. Earlier the coughs was very dry and my speak broke up after a couple of words because I got so dry in my throat. But even now 2-3 weeks later I still cough every now and then for no obvious reason.... also I got another infected now, in the shape of a 8x8 cm inflammation under the skin or something such. Hurray for me!
Anyhow. I think you give the idiots too much credit;D, single persons may not be that sanitary/hygienic either.
It's a hobbyist OS. If you don't want to use it don't. Most people trying it out probably think it's cool to try these kinds of things out. They know and don't expect them to run all the applications they are used to or that those few that may run once things like GTK and similar is ported over will be of the latest version or run as perfect as on the latest Linux desktop.
Knoppix seem to use low PCM settings and higher gain to. Increasing the general volume then will decrease sound quality / make it more noticeable.

+1 here. I won't look what MSI motherboard I have but it's a VIA K8T800 chipset. An Athlon64 3000+ and now only 1 GB of 333 MHz DDR or whatever. One Nvidia 6800 LE card.
As an OS nerd I've tried lots of OSes but in the end I used to prefer FreeBSD. But then I ran a OS X hack and bought a real mac. The later one failed really early though and I still feel like OS X offer nothing over FreeBSD as far as OS goes. Only advantage is if you need professional music, video or graphics software or want to play the few games they support but will still run much worse than in Windows and with more limited graphic card options and in the case of a bought mac very expensive graphics card with exactly the same specs as normal PC cards. Not an issue with a hack though. Plus imho the mac pro had a very retarded spec setup atleast then but I would never ever buy one anyway.
Anyway, back when Ubuntu used the regular Debian installer it worked just fine. But then the first graphical one (live cd?) came out it couldn't boot my machine.
Someone talked about Unity so I got a recent dist and still can't boot my machine.
I've ran OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, somewhat early Linux dists, Gentoo, the OS X hack (though never tried the new methods since Leopard so not much required from my side..) and I can handle some tinkering to get things working and add the functionality I want. However I'm not really that interested in shitty software longer and issues which aren't my fault. Also it's much easier to get sound by say installing Open Sound System or get 3D support by installing the closed Nvidia drivers than it is to try to find out why the freaking CD/DVD which try to do all that for me fails, I have no fucking clue, I don't know how to find out and I'm not really that interested. Same with Archlinux 0.7 which was said to be so good. But then random update broke all USB devices and the alsamixer. I don't need or want to fix others shit. Let me break things myself if anything.
I had another example which I thought made more sense then but I had already posted. Since the flat earth was so common example but I happened to think about something else.
Is all "fire" hot so it will burn you (I know you can get cold burns to but point being is all fire hot?)
Lots of other things would be the TV program I saw this morning about some people in the jungle. They still thought black magic was the cause for their diseases even though they knew medicine from the close by town could help them. Some Christians probably think it's their fault or that they get punished for something if something bad happens. Same with people who believe in karma I suppose. I wonder what I was thinking of:(
Do you think the common sense logic in his cases with food and what not is true by scientific standards?
Was "radium is good for you" common sense or clever marketing? It's energetic so it must be good?
And the thing I thought about earlier, though with multiple issues: How many haven't used common sense (rather "knowledge"/information transformation from others?) when they claim common cold is caused by being cold, not a viral infection. Though there exist studies which both support and doesn't support the cold claim, since people in general seem to attract it so much more during some times (or do they just think that?) maybe there's some truth in it.
Their Android phones was late and have outdated Android versions.
Why should anyone give a shit?
Obviously a Chinese "new comer" as ZTE can do it much better considering the price and specs of the Blade.
Nokia could deliver good stuff both in price, quality and probably software. But the management suck so it doesn't help.
As long as all the phones will be the same in software (and more or less in functionality) the only thing which matters is price & quality. If you make the software worse you'll get less points obviously.
1) Ok. Nothing I would want to do anyway. 2) Good for you. 3) There are plenty of boot managers. Can't see why whatever you use for Linux (grub?) would be superior or so special vs anything else. 4) Say what? I never said I have no idea what a Linux distribution was. Who knows. Maybe I used one a decade before you did? 7) Can't see what it was a reply to, I blame Slashdot for not putting a "parent" link here, or quoting the parent post. 8) I don't think I've said anything about choices. Maybe I did. I didn't said everyone had to use KDE. I liked the integration of it, that's all. Now Google or whatever can give me similar integration online so I don't need it as much in my desktop. Depends on whatever you trust Google or Opera or whatever with your data though. 10) Ok. Then I didn't answered the wrong post atleast:)
Personally I got no special reason to use Linux specifically. Most of the unix like OSes would do as long as they can run the software I preferred to use.
1) Good future, I have no idea if it's possible within Windows. Kinda all applications which put out sound has a volume controller in my experience. I rarely want to listen to music and try to listen to a video at the same time but if I did I'm sure my music player and media player or YouTube flash application would let me control the volume of all of them. 2) Whatever. 3) Doubt many Windows users have a problem with multi-booting... And if you need to multi-boot I don't see the problem with any OS combinations or what makes Linux so special. 4) What? 5) What? 5.5) What? 5.6) What? 6) True. Don't say much about OMG ALL THE LEENUCKS APPS WHICH IS SO LIKE TOTALLY AWESOME AND BEAT WINDOWS FOREVARH! Though of course there's some good applications for the free desktops. I like the whole KDE environment. Or well, rather did like it. Many applications got too many panels and buttons and eventually I may want to have more of the integration on the web instead of on the desktop. As in doing my mail, IM, calendar, whatever stuff collected and available everywhere from the browser. 7) What? 8) I just need the greatest one. And I may have to agree with Fedora that the desktop is getting less important. 8.5) What? 9) AFAIK drastic changes in most free apps come from the developers, not from the users, in many cases the developers and the users don't care for the same thing and the developers wins. If you want something else make it yourself or shut up and stop complaining. Chances are the "PR idiots" is rather more likely to bring out what the users want instead of what the developers think is cool or care about.
I don't know if you answered to me (maybe Slashdot messed up?) but if you did your answer doesn't make much sense and it's very basic claims which has been true for Linux and the free desktops for decades but it really don't tell why the applications would be so superior to Windows. Which most people wouldn't agree upon.
For instance Windows is likely to have much more choices and eventually some better ones for creating music, or video. Obviously better games. Maybe better things for like creating a news paper / magazine. Better applications for working with graphics.
Well, unless you accept that it's a global economy and that you may have to compete with China. By salaries or whatever means.
Sure you can say "we won't" but well, guess what happens in the long run?
Borrowing to be able to spend as if everything was just fine instead of competing and earning something can't work forever.
All this shit about deflating all currencies to get away from debt is so freaking retarded to.
Also you could open them "just to fail", as in the mere fact that you are working on it may force China to raise exports and lower prices which will be a win regardless of whatever the mines can compete or not. Mines die (and you save resources) and China lower prices = win. China keep high prices and mines give the resources = win.
By that logic Linux (Android), OS X / Mach / FreeBSD (iOS) and Windows CE (Windows Phone) existed well before smart phones, and maybe even before Symbian (S40, S60 and Symbian^3 are different but whatever) and Windows Mobile.
Android is "bolting on" a phone interface onto something else to. So is iOS and Windows Phone to I assume.
Why would Linux the way Android do it be a much better base than say Symbian or Linux the way MeeGo do it?

Lots of weird grammar there :D

I read that around half your meat and poultry Staphylococcus aureus which is quite awesome and well protected as is. But what's worse is that half of those was the Methicillin resistant variant.
I'm not educated enough for in fast new vaccines can be made for viruses and if they can for all. Considering how far they have come with HIV I guess it's not always that easy.

Imagine half the population of your entire city or town dying off in 1 or 2 years.
How would I ever notice? Less litter around the trash cans? Foul smells from the stairway? Longer search times for a match setup in Starcraft II?

Well, it seems like it has become Thoms own site or something .. Not very impressive. And pretty dead.
I don't know who did most of the OS stuff over there. Eugenia is fine though her own video interest took over every now and then :)
Bla bla bla.

And no. It's not based on Linux.

Debian would install on this machine ...
Also 13,000 feet = 4 km beneath the Amazon.
3,700 miles = 6,000 km long.
Ok. True.
Guess I was after "common sense doesn't have to be right", but so doesn't current science either.
If it boost the amount of developers I'm all for it.
Christians and black magic would most likely be knowledge transfer from others to.
But I suppose plenty of common sense situation may be. Or maybe just the wrong ones? The ones one haven't thought about oneself?
But in that case common sense would tell me that a metal is solid. And we know it isn't on an atomic level.
(Common sense would tell me I should only eat ice cream because it taste so good. But there it fails again! ;D)
Vast majority? Maybe.
I had another example which I thought made more sense then but I had already posted. Since the flat earth was so common example but I happened to think about something else.

Razer claims this is the first one though ...
So considering this there can't have been any failures earlier!
Common sense isn't science thought.

Norway recently found more oil. And they have lets of ground in the arctic regions.
Also how convenient: One guy blows up Oslo and goes on an island killing spree killing 77!
Clearly a nation filled with terrorist which they need to be liberated from.

If it was better for games and not from Apple then I'm all for it.
Though if it's simple games I don't see why they shouldn't be web apps.
If they are complicated with advanced graphics and such then I could see how Microsoft could one-up especially Android.
I could had bought it.
WebOS and Maemo 5 was risky when generic Android arrived at a similar time.
Maemo 5 was freaking retarded when they only released one product and abandoned it.
MeeGo as far as Nokia goes is utter failure thanks to WP directions and comments from Elop how there would be one device and how the future is WP.
Such awesome management. Worthy Commodore ..
